ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson License No. DPR-23 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on January 9 -
13, 1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (19),
the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50.55a.(g).(4).(ii), states that inservice examinations of components and inservice tests to verify operational readiness of pumps and valves whose function is required for safety shall comply with the requirements of the code (ASME Section XI).
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code-1977,Section XI, Paragraph IWV3413(c),
states that if an increase in stroke time of 25 percent or more from the previous test for valves with stroke times greater than ten seconds or 50 percent or more for valves with stroke times less than or equal to ten seconds is observed, test frequency shall be increased to once each month until corrective action is taken, at which time the original test frequency shall be resumed. In any case, any abnormality or erratic action shall be reported.
Contrary to the above, test records indicate that during the September 1988 outage, the stroke time for cold shutdown valve PCV-1716 increased by more than the Section XI limit of 50 percent and corrective action was not taken nor was the test frequency increased to once each month.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
